My mom & dad have their birthdays on the same day (Dec. 2) and coincidentally so does my mom's sister & her husband (Mar. 29). For years I believed that when you grew up & got married that you automatically had the same birthday as your mate. I think I was probably about 9 or 10 when they finally clued me in.
